    none

    ●The garden is so nice to chill ●Located in the quiet place, 3 to 4 mins walk to the main street ●Rooms with Air-conditioning I really like to stay in Refugio because this hostel is clean, and chill vibes, the size of the room is big enough.

    The only things which need improvement are these in my opinion - there was no refillable water. That’s an absolute must for hotels/hostels these days especially on the island should be mandatory to reduce the waste. Also, couple of times the cleaner lady threw away our soap, which we had on the sink, that’s not nice, especially if there’s no soap provided in the hostel, all containers were empty the whole 5 days I spent there.

    Absolutely great hostel. Really clean, super comfy beds, hang out area, kitchen (altho you can only use from 2 pm, as they serve breakfast), nice staff, good location away from the noise but close enough, I just really loved it.

    The location. Despite absolutely nothing happened during my stay, I was afraid of returning alone to the hostel at night. There is a slight climb to get to the hostel, for those with wheeled suitcases it may be just a little inconvenient, but nothing that changes my idea of ​​staying there.

    I believe Refugio was one of the best Hostels I have ever stayed in. Super clean, comfy bed, friendly staff, fair price, good area if you have to work. I would recommend it to everyone and would return when I can.

    Staff could have been friendlier but nothing annoying on that front. Also it is ~10mins from the main deck of the island with a small uphill but not of a big issue

    Nice set up, clean and decent breakfast, pretty social as well. They give you a locker with a safe inside which is a plus!

    WiFi isn't the best in the rooms. Breakfast lacking options such as fruits and cereal.

    Cosy and comfortable, bathrooms for each room. Located a bit away from the agitation.

    Breakfast starts too late: the heat starts early and people prefer to get up early to enjoy the day. I would prefer the bathroom and shower outside the room, due to the noises.

    New and clean. Very good price for the quality (it even includes breakfast and towel). Good size lockers. 5' walk from the center.

    The breakfast is good, however, it's only offered from 8 to 10am which is quite late given that most people want to hike by 8am to avoid the heat. The majority of guests were already waiting around 7.30am in front of the tables. It would be great to offer Breakfast from 7am onwards.

    It was a calm and clean hostel. They provided towels. The location is great to avoid any kind of evening noises.

    breakfast is very meat heavy. as a vegetarian all I ate was the fruit and brought my own oats as there was no cereal. they could improve the breakfast by adding eggs so vegetarians have an option other than plain bread. given it’s a free breakfast though I was not complaining - was still very happy with fresh fruit and coffee!

    really nice mattresses! they keep the place nice and clean & the staff were lovely.
